Me: wow, two updates in one day!

Ken: that's fast…

Me: probably because I'm high on sugar and I'm happy about my fanfic.

Kaitsu: (still hanging from tree) can you please untie me now?

Me: never! Haha!

Takari: Merielle does not own Kingdom Hearts. If she did, there would be rabid squirrels running around in the game…


Destiny's Punishment

Chapter 6—Invasion

"I'll see you tomorrow," said Kaitsu as he walked off to the shack, waving good-bye to Sora, Riku, and Kairi, who were sailing back to the main island. He walked into the shack and lied down on the bed, tired from the day's activities. He had spent the entire day sparring with Sora and Riku…and won. Riku seemed a bit upset about losing to someone younger than him, but forgot about it when Sora lost the match too.

"Something on your mind?"

Kaitsu snapped out of his thoughts, seeing Kotoro hanging upside-down from a hook on the ceiling.

"Not really…" he muttered as Kotoro jumped down from the ceiling, landing with ease. He smirked,

"Okay, tell me what's bothering you," he said. He knew Kaitsu too well to think that nothing was bothering him.

"Ken gave me a message from Ronin today," muttered Kaitsu. Kotoro wasn't surprised by this at all.

"What did he say?"

"He said, 'Beware of what side you choose. The fate of all worlds depends on your choice'… What does that mean?" He looked at Kotoro, who narrowed his eyes before saying,

"I have no idea," he lied. He knew exactly what Ronin had meant. Too bad Kaitsu didn't understand it.

"I'm going outside…" muttered Kaitsu as he walked out of the shack. He looked up at the sky, and noticed a large black rain cloud hovering over the island. Kaitsu ignored it, and walked along the shoreline, silently thinking as rain began to fall.


The four hooded people were standing around the platform once more, watching the image of Kaitsu by the shore as it began raining.

"Is he insane?" asked Ryu. "He's just standing in the rain for no reason!"

"He shouldn't be outside," said Ken. "A storm's coming to that island."

"What's causing the storm?" asked Seika.

"Kaitsu isn't even aware of his own powers. This storm is being created by him," said Ken, ignoring the surprised looks on the others' faces. "Hopefully, the storm won't get out of hand."


Kaitsu sighed as he sat by the ocean, feeling the rain drops as they fell. He hadn't been in the rain for so long… He had almost forgotten what it felt like. Kaitsu's eyes widened as he heard thunder in the distance as lightning flashed through the sky. He got up, deciding it was best to go inside. But as he turned around, he saw several black shadows forming out of the sand. His eyes widened as he saw several yellow eyes fix upon him.

"Oh no…"


"Come on! We have to find Kaitsu!" shouted Sora through the thunders of the storm. The three had sailed back to the island because of the storm. They had reached Kaitsu's shack an hour ago, only to find it torn apart.

"He has to be here somewhere," said Sora, trying to see through the heavy rain. His eyes widened as he saw several shadows appearing, their yellow eyes fixed on a figure standing in the rain.


Kaitsu summoned his Keyblade and took his fighting stance as the Heartless formed a circle around him. A few of them leaped at him, only to be sliced in half before they could hit him. Kaitsu jumped back, throwing his Keyblade at the Heartless like a boomerang in a move called Strike Raid. As he caught his Keyblade he charged at the Heartless with lightning speed, slicing through them. He watched them disappear, but more continued to appear.

'There's too many of them!' Kaitsu's eyes widened as he realized he was cornered. Before any of the Heartless could attack him, a ball of fire shot out in front of them. Kaitsu looked behind the Heartless and saw Sora, Riku, and Kairi standing there, each holding a weapon.

"I hope we're not too late," remarked Sora as he began to attack the Heartless with his Keyblade. Riku swung at several Heartless with his sword, slicing them apart with ease, while Kairi began to shoot at the Heartless with her twin guns. Kaitsu smiled faintly, joining the battle also.

"It's no use! They just keep multiplying," shouted Riku. Kaitsu jumped back, pulling out a small, black flute, and blew into it. A portal opened behind him as Kotoro jumped out of it, his eyes widening at the sight of the Heartless,

"What the hell is going on here?!"

"It's an invasion! Now hurry and help us out here!" shouted Kaitsu as he slashed at five more Heartless. Kotoro nodded, extending right hand, the claws on his fingers grew sharper. He jumped at the Heartless, his claws slicing through them with ease. They continued to fight like this for a few minutes, when suddenly the ground began to shake. The Heartless stopped their attacks immediately and disappeared.

"What's going on?" yelled Kaitsu as he was almost knocked backwards by the wind. They all looked up and saw a large black portal in the sky. Their eyes widened as Kotoro muttered,

"They're destroying this world, too."

Kaitsu glared at the portal, and said,

"We have to go through it."

"What?" shouted Sora. "But what if it kills us?"

"We have no choice," muttered Kaitsu. They nodded and, reluctantly, climbed onto the Paopu Island. The portal was just a few feet above them as it began to suck in everything on the island.

"Okay…Ready?" muttered Kaitsu. "…Go!" At the same time, they all jumped through the portal. The last thing they saw was the island as it was being torn apart by the storm…


"Ow…My head…" muttered Kaitsu. He opened his eyes and looked around at the large garden. Behind the garden was a large castle. He stood up as the others began to awaken also.

"…Where are we?" muttered Sora, looking around at the garden. Suddenly they heard someone shouting behind them, and turned around to see…a duck and dog running up to them. 'And I thought I was weird…' thought Kaitsu. Sora's eyes widened as the two tackled him and pulled him into a hug.

"It's great to see ya again Sora, ayuck!" said the dog…person.

"Donald? Goofy? What're you two doing here? What is this place?" asked Sora, confused by the entire situation. The duck named Donald smiled and said,

"Welcome to Disney Castle!"


Me: Destiny Islands has been destroyed by the Heartless…again…and now our heroes are at Disney Castle! What dangers will befall them next?

Ken: great…more Disney freaks…

Kaitsu: (is still tied up…and hanging) can you let me down now?

Me: never! Hahaha… anywho, this chapter was a bit short because I didn't have enough time to finish it. And besides, I wanted it to end on a cliffy. Hehe… here's a reply to the reviews!
